Crispy Cinnamon Garbanzo Beans

Yummy recipe! I made it this weekend for one of John's birthday activities and it was a big hit. Even Kara was gobbling them up! So, since it was SOOOO super easy to make, I thought it was definitely worth sharing!

Crispy Cinnamon Garbanzo Beans
makes 3 cups

1 cup dried garbanzo beans
2 T. vegetable oil
2 T. raw (or regular granulated) sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. salt

1. Soak the beans overnight in cool water. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
3. In a bowl, toss the beans with the vegetable oil and sugar.
4. Spread them in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Roast them in the oven until crunchy and no longer soft in the centers, about 45 minutes. Stir them a few times to prevent burning.
5. Immediately toss the beans in a bowl with the cinnamon and salt. Cool and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
